Conservatory Theatre Ensemble

Welcome to the 23/24 Season!

What Is CTE

THIS YEAR ROUGHLY 250 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN 10 DIFFERENT DRAMA CLASSES WILL PRODUCE 55 NIGHTS OF LIVE THEATRE

Donors are a fundamental part of our company. In addition to funding guest artists, donor support covers technical expenses like sets, costumes and operation costs for the company. Only five percent of our program budget is funded by the Tamalpais High School District. Donations are tax deductible and can be made through the Tam High Foundation.

Our first show of the 2023-24 season is… THE IMPROV SHOW! directed by Regina Saisi. Performances are from October 4-7, 2023 at 7 pm in the Caldwell theater. You can purchase tickets at the door, $12 for adults, and all students are free. A big thank you to the Tam High Foundation for making this production possible!

Conservatory Theater Ensemble, CTE, is an award winning theater education program that spans a four year sequence of training in all aspects of theater.

Guest Artists

The Conservatory Theatre Ensemble could not be the program it is without it’s Guest Artists. From carpentry and painting to directing and Shakespeare, these spectacular people teach our students not only how to grow as artists, but as people.

CTE is a student run company which is based on an ensemble approach that emphasizes teamwork. Our students learn that success is the result of effective collaboration between actors, directors, designers, technicians, backstage crew, playwrights, guest artists and teachers; it takes an ensemble to make plays come alive onstage.

London Trip

The Global Studies London Trip is a CTE annual tradition that Advanced Drama students have the opportunity to go on.

We also foster new works, like student written-plays. CTE also aims to foster a development of community and ensemble ethos within its students.
